Prenolepis imparis Genome sequencing

Historical climate fluctuations have left genetic signatures of species and populations across North America. This project used phylogenetic and population genetic analyses from orthologous sequences of 75 individuals obtained through sequencing Ultraconserved Elements (UCEs) to identify population genetic structure and historical demographic patterns across the range of a widespread, cold-adapted ant, the winter ant, Prenolepis imparis. We related the genomic patterns to those expected as a result of in situ diversification, maintained connectivity, or recent migration.

历史气候波动在北美物种及其种群中留下了遗传印记。本项目通过测序超保守元件（UCEs）从75个个体中获取同源序列，运用系统发育和种群遗传学分析方法，旨在识别广泛分布、适应寒冷环境的蚂蚁——冬蚁Prenolepis imparis在其分布范围内的种群遗传结构和历史人口模式。我们将基因组模式与就地多样化、维持连通性或近期迁移预期结果相联系。
